Abstract: Slotted bobbins consisting of a plurality of wire coils, are secured within a pickup for a stringed instrument assembly having an upper plate with a plurality of slots running in the direction of the strings, the slots of the bobbins being aligned with those of the upper plate. A magnetic pole piece is slidably disposed within each slot, each pole piece being independently slidable along the length of its slot, to allow reading each string at a different spectrum. The pole pieces are releasably secured within the slots so that they can be set at a desired point prior to playing of the instrument.

Abstract: Inner and outer shelves, having wooden dowels for holding shoes thereon, are vertically disposed within a cabinet frame with the upper end of the inner shelf being hingedly connected to the rear of the frame and with the lower end thereof being hingedly connected to the lower end of the outer shelf. The lower end of the outer shelf is also hingedly connected to the front of the frame such that the outer shelf can be pivoted to a substantially horizontal position, thereby causing pivoting of the inner shelf to a diagonal position, with ready access to the shoes on either shelf. Preferably, two pairs of inner and outer shelves are employed, in separate compartments one above the other, with a storage compartment disposed above the shelf compartments.
